“It’s been an honor and a thrill to be a part of this program.”
Almost 14 years to the day that the Seattle Seahawks announced his hiring, Pete Carroll’s time as head coach is over.
Carroll brought the Seahawks a level of success unmatched by his predecessors: A Super Bowl win, another Super Bowl appearance, 10 playoff appearances, 5 division titles, and more 10+ win seasons (8) than the previous six full-time coaches combined (5).
This is not the end of Carroll with the Seahawks organization—he’ll be in a yet-to-be defined advisory role—but it is still the end of an era.
